Less explanation; more exploration.

Visualise - the beauty of science is a truly engaging spectacle, an experiment that began by removing all verbal explanation from science made simple’s award-winning interactive presentations. Physical theatre, live demonstrations, projected images and music combine to create a wordless experience of wonder. There is no trickery. It’s live. Ordinary objects are used in extraordinary ways, to create swirling whirlwinds, giant smoke rings and dancing flames. The lack of language means that the show is suitable for all ages. A playful mix of interactive experiment and mischievous fun. The audience are invited to make their own observations and discoveries, igniting their curiosity and ultimately motivating them to find out for themselves how the world works.

Visualise – the beauty of science had its premiere in August 2007 at the famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Award-winning Welsh company ‘science made simple’ (biography in Annex 1) was shortlisted for a prestigious theatre award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. ‘visualise – the beauty of science’ was in the running for the Total Theatre Award for experimentation, after beating off stiff competition from over 400 competing productions.

British Council in Bulgaria would like to take this opportunity to thank its media partners Bulgarian National Television, Capital Weekly and Dnevnik Daily.

Visualise – the beauty of science is one component of the Beautiful Science project, a British Council initiative - linking science, education and the arts – which ultimately seeks to inspire young people to consider a career in science and encourage young scientists to communicate with the wider public, in an open, comprehensive, inspired and interactive way. The project is implemented by the British Council in 9 countries in South East Europe region: Austria, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Israel, Romania, Serbia and Turkey and the UK.
